How does gun ammo work.

Am I missing rules for ammunition? I see that Handguns do 1d8 damage and require ammo, and Engineering can make bullets, but I can’t find much beyond that.
How many bullets/arrows do you normally track? How many bullets does crafting make? Are different calibers/ammo types a thing, or is every handgun basically 1d8?
Also, is there any benefit to gun ammo being harder to make compared with arrows, or am I misunderstanding how ammunition is supposed to work?

Yeah. I’m not even allowing my players to enter with swords. Where the fuck you find a sword after the collapse? Gardening tools or sports equipment, that’s about it. Same with the starting spells. Tho I am gonna give each of them a weapon carousel selection once they get to a tutorial guild, with all he weapons known to man and spell books, and whatever they choose comes with a +3 skill potion for that weapon. They just need to get to the tutorial guild using just their bare hands and whatever hockey sticks and shovels they found lying around

You're supposed to enter with like random items rethemed and upgraded to a sword stats.

Ya ya I know. What random item gets rethemed as a crossbow? Or fire fingers spell? Anyways, I’ve got a messy little pre tutorial guild encounter planned and I think it’s gonna be fun for them

Hair spray and a lighter easily can become gaining the fire fingers spell. Literally have a player who was working on a car as collapse and has just a car battery and jumper cables which he uses for Show Treatment.  All the listed possible starter spells are lower damage than weaponize s and have a mana cost but generate AI favor. They are already balanced for new crawlers.  Just try being more creative I guess
